Subject:   DSML 2.0 "wish list" from NetworkMagazine.com

NetworkMagazine.com ran an article [1] a few months ago that has just come to my attention. It contains some out of date and incorrect information, however it did include a wish list for DSML 2.0 gathered by the article's author:

I would be interested to discuss each of these in the context of our requirements:

- Mapping of LDAP functions to DSML to enable directory access, and read and write operations over HTTP for firewall traversal and directory-enablement of Web applications;

- Publishing the hierarchical directory information of a DSML-enabled directory service;

- Identifying and profiling the source of DSML-encoded directory schemata and entries;

- Translating directory elements and attributes between DSML and legacy file formats;

- Defining mechanisms for DSML-enabled directories to dynamically extend their schemata in response to new directory elements and attributes contained in incoming DSML documents;

- Defining access controls applicable to elements and attributes in exported directory schemata, elements, and attributes;

- Signing and encrypting DSML-encoded directory schemata and entries to ensure that unauthorized parties don't modify them.
